The late Miss Waddilove left a portion of her estate on trust for charitable purposes. She had indicated during her lifetime the types of charity she favoured and the trustees use their discretion to follow those wishes as far as possible.
The Trustees welcome applications from charities, CICs and IPSs. Grants are provided for projects relating to the following charitable purposes:
| 1 |
Education (organic farming, animal husbandry, veterinary science, animal welfare and animal surgery) |
| 2 |
The visual and performing arts |
| 3 |
Medical research |
| 4 |
The relief of disability and severe illness |
| 5 |
The preservation of buildings of architectural or historical significance |
| 6 |
The accommodation of those in need |
| 7 |
The skills based training of young people |
The application process is straightforward. There is a short application form- which must be used. No additional or supporting information is usually required. The Trustees do not normally stage the application process. If successful, applicants can therefore expect to receive their grant within three months of completing an application. Below is more detailed information about when to apply, the eligibility criteria and the application form and how to apply and how to contact the Foundation before or after making an application.
When to apply
The Trustees aim to meet in January, April, July and October.
The next meeting is scheduled for April 2013
Applications for this meeting opened on Monday 4th March and WILL NOW CLOSE AT
MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY 3RD APRIL. The Trustees receive a large number
of applications and can only open the application dates for a short period of
time. They aim to give notice of at least 48 hours before closing applications.
If you have a query, please see the section below headed 'Contacting us prior to and
after making an application'.
Eligibility- Essential and Desirable Criteria
The Trustees use Essential and Desirable Criteria to help them identify which applicants are best suited to the types of grant that they can make.
To qualify for a grant, applicants must satisfy all of the Essential Criteria.
The Trustees will then award grants to those applicants who best fit their Desirable Criteria. Unlike the Essential Criteria, applicants do not need to fulfil all of the Desirable Criteria.
